"The CPCE Fast Track is a great opportunity to test your knowledge and gain insight on where additional focus is needed when preparing to sit for the exam. The live version is a wonderful way to engage with the presenter(s), asking questions in real-time for quick clarification. [The online] version is also helpful by breaking up the material into more manageable sections over the duration of days."
